Lossless parsing when storing knowledge elements within a universal cognitive graph

1. A computer-implementable method for managing a cognitive graph comprising:

receiving data from a data source;

determining whether the data comprises text;

processing the data, the processing comprising performing a lossless parsing operation on the data, the processing the data identifying a plurality of knowledge elements based upon the lossless parsing operation, the lossless parsing operation generating a set of parse trees using a parse rule set, the lossless parsing operation comprising a mapping operation, the mapping operation comprising mapping structural elements to resolve ambiguity, the mapping operation comprising mapping structural elements of the text around a verb of the text, the mapping of the structural elements transforming the structural elements into words higher up an inheritance chain within the cognitive graph, the parse trees being ranked by a conceptualization ranking rule set, the parse trees representing ambiguous portions of the text;

performing a conceptualization operation, the conceptualization operation identifying relationships of concepts identified from ranking the set of parse trees using the conceptualization ranking rule set, the conceptualization operations generating a set of conceptualization ambiguity options, the set of conceptualization ambiguity options being ranked using the conceptualization ranking rule set, top-ranked conceptualization options being stored in the cognitive graph; and,

storing the knowledge elements within the cognitive graph as a collection of knowledge elements, the storing universally representing knowledge obtained from the data, the cognitive graph comprising integrated machine learning functionality, the integrated machine learning functionality using extracted features of newly-observed data from user feedback received during a learning phase to improve accuracy of knowledge stored within the cognitive graph, the cognitive graph being implemented with an ontology, the ontology universally representing knowledge and comprising a representation of entities along with properties and relations of the entities according to a system of categories, the ontology storing a knowledge element within the cognitive graph based upon a set of categories of the knowledge element and a set of attributes of the knowledge element.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating a set of parse options by performing the lossless parsing operation using the parse rule set, each of the parse options representing a respective parse tree within a parse forest.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

providing a parse ranking rule set; and

ranking the parse options using the parse ranking set, the ranking providing a determination of highly ranked parse options.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:

performing conceptualization processes on the highly ranked parse options to provide the set of conceptualization ambiguity options.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

applying a conceptualization rule set to the set of conceptualization ambiguity options; and,

ranking the set of conceptualization ambiguity options to provide highly ranked conceptualization options.
